I spent last weekend in Las Vegas celebrating my birthday my mom, who also happened to be running the Las Vegas marathon :) One of my best friends from high school also made it! And of course, the Vegas trip itself was the best birthday present ever from my boyfriend (AKA cameraman) <3

Unfortunately, I accidentally left the window open in my fish room while we were gone...and I came back to icky fish :( However, ick is very easy to treat with just heat, salt, and water changes - no antibiotics needed! The ick cleared up overnight after treatment. I will continue to treat them for another 10 days until I am sure the ick is gone.
